Virtual Assistance Services

05/29/2026

For a variety of business needs(seasonal, project related, filling in for absent employees), having the flexibility to bring in a contracted professional vs an employee avoids the financial drain of paying wages/ benefits/vacation when the work is no longer there, or during slow seasons.

Wondering whether you need an employee or a Virtual Assistant? 🤔

It really depends on the kind of support your business needs.

An employee may be the right fit if:

• You need someone full-time

• You require set working hours

• The role focuses on one specific position

• You need someone permanently embedded within the business

A VA may work better if:

• You need flexible support

• Your workload changes week to week

• You need help across multiple areas of the business

• You don’t want the overheads that come with employing staff

• You only need support for a few hours a week or on an ad hoc basis

One of the biggest benefits of working with a VA is versatility.

Many VAs support businesses with a mixture of admin, research, customer support, inbox management, documents, social media, operations and more, all under one roof.

For many small businesses, it can be a practical and flexible way to get support without committing to a full-time employee before they’re ready or when they are still unsure where they need the most help.

Happy Father's Day late Warren, many blessings to you, and all the other awesome dads out there! You may come in all different types and your children may be humans or animals, but your love and dedication to your children makes a valuable difference!

It's Father's Day and we're celebrating all the dads and father figures out there who guide and support and make our worlds better! We're especially grateful for the "father" of Lake Lorraine, Warren Friessen. He's pictured in one of our oversized chairs at the south end of the lake. Happy Father's Day!

Starting garden plants from seeds indoors can be an enjoyable project for any gardener. It's a relatively inexpensive way to grow a wide variety of plants. Many garden favorites are found in a greater variety of colors, sizes and growth habits as seeds, rather than as started plants.
